"Woman"

Hello my friends!!!

This is a layout I have made using the sketch of a talented friend of mine
 from Greece,  Melenia Agapides!

It is all about women and what could be more feminine than
 Green Tara products?

On both sides of my center strip of paper I have placed a beautiful 
Green Tara  lace!!

Here and there I have added pieces of the diamante trim!
The chipboard firefly is Scrapmatts!

Below you can see the GORGEOUS big butterfly, ivory, hot pink and
 pink roses, the amazing cobweb mesh in pink and bud n bow pink!

To give texture to the beautiful Scrapmatts doll, I have made a bow
 using the gorgeous coloured jute ribbon!
Manequin by Scrapmatts!!

"Moments" - Scrapmatts, Studio 75 card

Hello my friends!!

This is a layout I made using Prima's BAP for April..

"Moments"

I have used CB8001 Circles and CB4061 Assorted Words 17

To create the look on the word "Moments" I painted the chipboard white, went over it with glimmer glaze "pink lady", with a brush I added a little glimmer glam "Mermaid", I dropped some dylusion "turquoise" and glimmer mist "Bahama blue and then went over the whole piece with crackle accents

For the circles I followed the same process but instead of crackle accents, I covered them with crackle paint "rock candy"

Now, to create that look on the background, I used a few dylusions and raised the paper so they drip and then I used a stencil, texture paste and stamps!!!

For the look below, I used dylusion mist and then I started blowing air straight at it in various directions...do I make sense? LOL!!

This is a tag I made using CB3007 Tags 03, CB1077 Bird Cages 03

To make the crackle effect I used Martha Stewart "Weather crackle".

I painted the cage blue, added some white paint randomly and heat embossed some clear glitter powder here and there! The bird was painted white and heat embossed with the glitter powder.

A small ATC using ATC10-007 Arch 04, MC1028 Micro Chips 20, CB1191 Scrapwords 03

This is very simple..I painted the cage black and randomly added some gold..

And a little sweet card for my mother!!!

I have used CB1159 Hearts 05, CB1198 Scrapwords 06 

Materials used:

Chipboard: Scrapmatts

Flowers: Green Tara & Prima

Mists: Tattered Angels & Dylusions

Paper: Prima & Studio 75 & Kaisercraft

Mask: Prima

Crackle medium: Martha Stewart & Ranger

Paints: Ranger

With the layout I am entering April's "Prima Bap" and "Bird is the word" and with the tag I am entering "Get Creative."

Sorry for the long post!

I hope I didn't bore you to death, hahaha

Till next time, have a great weekend ;)

"Baby" & "Mini in a box" - Green Tara

"Baby"

Hello Green Tara followers!!xx

Today I am sharing two projects with you I started at a Greek crop day!!

I had a mini trolley bag with me and of course my Green Tara goodies!xx

I started by misting the white cardstock with red Dylusions and water! After that I used a clock mask with walnut stain distress ink, a stencil with some texture paste and random stamping!

Below I have used in my small cluster the red cobweb mesh as the base and then the primula flower, a small rose and the diamante trim!

In the main cluster I have used the white wild rose, diamante trim, small rose, a red satin rosette, the gorgeous red polka dot ribbon, flower lace and skeleton leaves!!

And look at that amazing stars on wire!! I think they add so much interest to the whole page!!!

"Mini album in a match box"

Now, that was a very interesting project!!

I don't do OTP projects often because of the lack of time so this crop was a perfect chance!!

I have "dressed" the box up with craft paper & I distressed it with gesso, distress inks and pink stickles!

It opens up pulling the white pearl knob!

My decoration consists of a white primula, black satin rosette, pink cherry blossom & rose, diamante trim, lace and skeleton leaves!

So, inside the box there is a cute mini album!!

To embellish the cover I have used roses, diamante trim & self adhesive white trim!

To bind it I used black paper string!

The inner decoration is very simple and flat because I could not use anything bulky.

So here I have used some mini tassel ribbon. On the mini tag I have used the mini loop trim!

Here is the mini loop trim on the tag again, diamante trim in the center of a flower shaped trim!!

And my two favorite ribbons: Cobweb Mesh in black and
 Bud & Bow ribbon in pink!!!
